Sorry, I forgot to put the last paragraph as a quote.

Dang, the creator put a paywall on it.

It's the same with the letter f, from what I remember it was pronounced as an f or a v, depending on what letters are before and after it, similar to lenition in Irish, or s being pronounced as both s and z in Romance languages depending on what's around it.

Here we go

https://oldenglish.info/advpronunciationguide.html

Specifically þ and ð:

þ and ð are digraphs. This means they represent the same sound, much like the modern 'th' can be voiced (in words like 'this' and 'that') or unvoiced (in words like 'thick' or 'through'). The general rule of thumb is that þ comes at the start of a word and ð comes in the middle or at the end. However, you will often see them used interchangeably, with the same word appearing on the same page spelled with both ð forms and þ forms. You can even see words like 'oþþe' spelled 'oþðe' or 'oððe' so don't overthink it.

Wasn't that a misconception and they both make either of those sounds?

In Old English, ⟨ð⟩ (called ðæt) was used interchangeably with ⟨þ⟩ to represent the Old English dental fricative phoneme /θ/ or its allophone /ð/, which exist in modern English phonology as the voiceless and voiced dental fricatives both now spelled ⟨th⟩.

Beautiful. Looks like Reform split the right wing vote and cost her the seat. Even more beautiful!

Now I need to look up if Badenoch lost hers too.

Edit: dang.

We got a similar flyer. My area is a Labour safe seat, 70%+ for Labour last time, Tories barely scraping double digits and Lib Dems at 7% , yet the flyer claims Labour support is going down, and only the Lib Dems can stop them. I think the Labour bar was actually in the negative? I'll see if it's still floating around.

Found it:

Edit again: even the independent got more votes than the tory. Lib Dem got even less. Green took a lot of Labour votes to come second, probably because of Gaza.

That reminds me of the Action Lab video on a 4D ball.

I'm sorry to say I tried this and it worked.

I also got a person to leave by writing VY Canis Majoris. I'm not sure how they interpreted that.
